Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Swatch Septante Blue for its elegant blue dial and mirror finish, making it a suitable daily summer watch. The strap is frequently noted as thick, comfortable, and well-designed for a secure fit with minimal gap. However, some owners find the tachy numbers, moons, and engraved logo inaccurate and comical, likening them to those on a fake watch. There is also a sentiment among some that plastic watches with quartz movements are overpriced around the 100€ mark. Overall, owners rate the Swatch Septante Blue highly for its attractive dial and comfortable strap, despite some reservations about design details and perceived value.
Owners report the Swatch Sexy Thing can feel heavy and is prone to scratching, with one owner noting significant scratching within a month of minimal use that created shadows on the dial. The watch is described by some as a tacky, "corky experiment" from the 80s. On balance, owners rate the Swatch Sexy Thing poorly due to its tendency to scratch and its perceived tackiness.
